Many practitioners assume that trauma recovery simply means having a client talk about a painful memory repeatedly. However, in Complex PTSD (CPTSD), repeated recall without a foundation of safety can overwhelm the nervous system and increase client dropout rates.
What you will learn in this video:
The 3 Steps of Memory Reconsolidation: Reactivation, finding a mismatch (safety vs. helplessness), and new learning.
The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) in Trauma Work: Why therapists don’t need to process every single painful memory, and how targeting "index trauma events" can bring relief across connected patterns.
Research Results: Insights from a pilot study using the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) protocol, which showed promising, sustained recovery results for individuals with CPTSD.
